So my girl got a little sunburnt and I moved her straight out of the sun but the damage keeps spreading how can I stop it? Or what can I do to save the leaves?

Maybe try removing the pink portion of the leaf? The pink part can’t photosynthesis like the green does.

I think it’ll just take time for the damage to stop spreading. I add silica to my plant water which helps to strengthen the leaves and makes the plant less prone to damage/pests. I’ve heard it also prevents variegated parts of leaves from going brown/crispy. So it wouldn’t undo the damage already done, but it would help prevent future damage.

What silica are you using and where did you find it? Amy help would be appreciated. Thanks.
